Roll bar bolt. Sears stopped replacing torx bits of mine when I was trying to remove one. I just went to another sears and had no issues.

Looks like a roll bar bolt to me. I’ve added a few new words to my vocabulary, dealing with those bastards.

That right there is one of the most honestly commented quirks about our Scramblers. You know to expect when going in and nobody can really prepare you for the fit(s) these things will give you!

Removing these roll bar Torx bolts is considered a rite of passage for real Scrambler owners. If you’ve never done it, you’ve missed out on one of the true “pleasures” of ownership.

When you start your project, I recommend these Torx bits.
Mac Tools Sst13rbrt 13 Piece Super Stubby torx.
And a good bottle of spirits.
Good luck!

Can’t recall ever seeing a torx bit welded into the roll bar bolt before. Guess it will work, once.
I welded a big nut on mine and use a spanner to remove the fun ones under the bend.
Truly a fun aspect of scrambler repairs.

Coming soon to an engine compartment near me. My good friend, Mr AMCJEEPMAN, has been putting this together for me. It is another AMC 360, but built significantly better than the one currently in my Scrambler (which will be for sale soon). This will get some other upgrades that I’m currently not running.

Does this count?? Making room off the floor of my maintenance room in my basement. Decided to utilize the garage wall space. 15’ ceilings
Tops are the 2 sets of doors for the Scrambler. The 4 tube doors are for the Gladiator. Once my newly acquired half doors come back from paint I’ll hang the factory Gladiator full doors above the windows.

Figured out a simple solution to the age old problem of the receiver that you use to hold the halftop to the bulkhead. If yours are like mine were, they have been stripped after 40 or so years of use.
Initially used some AVK ( insert nuts) but you have to have the ones with a long enough grip range. I only had 3 left from my stock from my job I retired from 4 years ago, so I went is search of something else.
This works great. All you need is a 15/32" bit, a 1/4-20 rivet nut tool and 4 of these jack nuts from your local Hillman selection at most Ace or True Value store. Drill the hole out, install the jack nut and you are good to go. You may need to by a longer 1/4-20 bolt to use to draw the jack nut tight as the Dorman bolt was a little short for me.

The brackets I bought utilize the hinge pins for hanging. A properly aligned door when closed also has 99% of the weight on the hinge pins. The latch doesn’t hold weight.
I would not recommend brackets that place the weight on the window frames. That’s asking for trouble if you ask me.
